Regular afternoon tea with my friend, and I get to choose the place this time as we will be having it near my office. Always enjoy a relaxing coffee during working hours, with a quick search on openrice, immediately decided to try out this cafe as it is located in a more quiet corner of Causeway Bay. It is extremely easy to find, which made me wonder why I have never been here. In a way, this is good, as the place is spacious and quiet. My friend already arrived as expected! She is such a pu
It is extremely easy to find, which made me wonder why I have never been here. In a way, this is good, as the place is spacious and quiet. My friend already arrived as expected! She is such a punctual person. This is a self-service cafe, so we can pour our own cup of water and pick up our own cutlery. Thank you my friend for her thoughtful pick of the green cup for my water.
The interior of this cafe is extremely relaxing and tranquil, playing soft music, projecting various images on the wall. The shelfs are filled with religious readings which is in the line of the theme of this cafe and what it tries to carry across as a message.
Moving on to its menu which is simple but should be able to cater for most. Here is what we ordered,
Egg Salad with Pita Pocket - My friend's order, which she says was quite fresh and the egg salad tasted quite ok, only that the pita pocket was too dry and hard. This actually made me wonder into the stories in the bible where people are given bread as their meals. Obviously, they didn't have as many choices as us today.
Chicken Pastry Pie - I actually enjoyed this very much. The pastry puff is super flaky and light. The filling is mainly chicken in a kind of homemade mayonnaise sauce, yummy!
Regular coffee - At last, a beautiful cup for coffee, though it is not full of aroma but it is hot, silky and taste great together with my pastry pie. I must say the coffee oil is definitely evident which is plus plus for me.
Ok, so we are a bit full but we cannot skip the dessert as the cakes display fridge is very attractive!
Polish Apple Crumble - Wow, I love it! The crumbles are rich in flavours, extremely crusty, and the fillings are of the right sweetness. My only complain will be that it is not warm enough and will be flawless if they get the temperature right.
Banana Chocolate Puff - Another wow of the day! Though the pastry is similar to the chicken pastry I had earlier but the richness of the chocolate went real well with the banana fillings. This is possibly one of the best combination I had for a while. It also served with 2 scoops of Goat's Milk ice-cream which tasted rich but not as creamy as I would like.
Another coffee for me which created a perfect ending of our afternoon tea. Thank you again my friend for the dessert and the lucky mooncakes!
A quick search on the net of all the possible meanings of "bonfire" made me wonder...as the food served by this cafe gave me a feeling of home which celebrated my quiet afternoon tea with my friend, hope this bonfire created by them will last forever as our friendship will be.
